FFAPI: Understanding FFAPI Error Message Format

• Microsoft Mail Software Development Kit: FFAPI for Gateways and Applications, version 3.0

SUMMARY

This article explains Microsoft Mail File Format API (FFAPI) error message formatting. Formats indicate the message and line number that caused problems with a FFAPI operation.

Errors appear in this format:

xxx-yyy-zzz Text describing the error

Where:

xxx = The error number, which is explained in the FFAPI SDK manual.

yyy = The position number of the message in the MMF file that FFAPI was operating on at the time.

zzz = The message line-number that produced the problem.

For example, here is a common error:

141-1-2 Cannot match token TO (has tail net/po/mailbox)

141 = cannot match token < > (has tail < >)
1 = the first message in the MMF file
2 = the second line of the message

The most common reason for this error is unsuccessful FFAPI parsing due to the presence of an incorrect "end of line" marker. See -f parameter for more information on this particular error.
